♪ [ male announcer ] every day thousands of people are switching from tylenol® to advil. here's one story. my name is tanya and i am from chicago. i'm a mom of 3 daughters. pan can really put a kink in my day and i turn into grouchy mommy.
2:17 am

(laughter) >> i think actually the majority of birds are actually more fearful of
2:18 am
cats because cats are superpridd ters, especially when it comes to birds. >> so i reached out to the cats. but they would only speak to me through their moneyed lobbyist. >> cats are part. ecosystem and they are not the real threat. there is pollution, there's urban sprawl, there's development, and there are other birds that kill birds. >> so there's bird on bird violence. >> absolutely. >> there is some bird on bird violence, hawks kill birds, things like that. but that's natural. those relationships between different kinds of birds have evolved over a millennia where cats are not native to the united states so cats are like immigrants. cats are definitely immigrants. >> immigrants who are more than happy to lie around and take handouts when they are not committing crimes. >> they made their home here and that's something that has to be accepted. >> if you own a cat, keep it
2:19 am
indoors. unowned cats need to be captured and removed from the environment. >> they were stirring arguments. but one thing still troubled me. >> why do we care about birds again? >> we care about birds because they're good for us. >> do we really need hundreds of millions of more birds. >> yes. >> have you ever been to new york city. that place is covered in bird [bleep]. >> but for people like lala wilds who loves cats and bird approximates, this intractable war has been devastating. >> you know, if i had to make a sophie's choice of cats or birds, i am going to have to take cats. >> you know sophie's choice, i think originally that's what it was about, to choose between a cat and a bird. >> fortunately it doesn't have to come to that. there was help in the form of animal planet's cat whisperer jackson gal axy. >> we could start directing that impulse towards more
2:20 am
appropriate victims, you know, like toys. >> okay. >> now we have two types of toys, right this is what we would call an interactive toy. look at that, see. >> wait, just stop for a second. you carry around a guitar case. >> yeah, i do. >> even are you embarrassed about being a cat whisperer. you just want people to think are you in a -- >> but lala's cat didn't get the message and continued to defiantly hunt birds. >> since no outside mediator could bring peace, there was one last option. >> cat whition perer there is only one way to end this conflict. they have to talk it out. cat, bird, you have to talk this out. we'll be back. >> oh, come on, are you
2:21 am
kidding me? the bird didn't even want to make a deal. he just takes off, just flew a what. why didn't you stay with him. >> it wasn't a talking thing -- >> what did you say to him? why did he take off? >> and so sadly the war rages on

2:28 am
things we said is let's get a list of the ted kennedy, the bars he used to go to and go on a ted kennedy tour because we're low rent irish. >> jon: do you think he used to go to -- when he was on this show, god rest his soul, before he passed away. >> he came on this show. >> jon: he stlutly did. he brought me the little ducklings book for my kids. go back to see him in the green room, this is true, he is back there, pants on, but he's in the green room digging through that little gift basket and he finds the vodka because you know we put vodka in there and he literally does this, when i walk in, this is what i see.
